Senator Abaribe who said, though he belongs to APGA, a different political party from Governor Otti, all he cares for is about good governance and not political party.
"Even though my party is APGA and his party is Labour, we have moved beyond party lines to focus on governance. I came to encourage him. He's done so well and we want to ensure he continues delivering for the people of Abia.
"I think second tenure is still very far away but I do not see any stumbling block on the way if we go by what he has done at this point".
